Augmented reality blurs the line between real and virtual by enhancing what we see, hear, feel and smell. With augmented reality displays like normal glasses, informative graphics will appear in the user's field of view as they walk or drive down the street. Examples of augmented reality uses include aiding in visualizing building projects by superimposing computer images before construction, enhancing product previews, complementing education by overlaying supplemental information on textbooks, enhancing gaming experiences in the real world, providing hidden medical information to surgeons, rendering useful battlefield data to soldiers, and augmenting navigation with directional and hazard information directly on windshields.

3. Now, researchers and engineers are pulling
graphics out of your television screen or
computer display and integrating them into real-
world environments. This new technology, called
augmented reality, blurs the line between what's
real and what's computer-generated by
enhancing what we see, hear, feel and smell.

5. Augmented reality is changing the way we view the
world, the way its users see the world. Picture
yourself walking or driving down the street. With
augmented-reality displays, which will look like a
normal pair of glasses, informative graphics will
appear in your field of view…

our daily life…

7. Modern mobile computing devices
like smartphones and tablet
computers contain these elements
like camera and sensors such as
accelerometer, GPS and compass,
making them suitable AR platforms.

12. AR can aid in visualizing building projects.
Computer-generated images of a structure
can be superimposed into a real life local view
of a property before the physical building is
constructed there

13. Greeting cards
AR technology has been been used in
conjunction with greeting cards. They can be
implemented with digital content which users
are able to discover by viewing the illustrations
with certain mobile applications or devices
using augmented reality technology.

14. Commerce
AR can enhance product previews such as
allowing a customer to view what's inside a
product's packaging without opening it. AR
can also be used as an aid in selecting
products from a catalogue.

15. Augmented reality applications can complement a standard curriculum.
Text, graphics, video and audio can be superimposed into a student’s
real time environment. Textbooks, flashcards and other educational
reading material can contain embedded “markers” that, when scanned
by an AR device, produce supplementary information to the student
rendered in a multimedia format.

16. Augmented reality allows gamers
to experience digital game play in a
real world environment.

17. Since 2005, a device that films veins, processes and projects
the image of the veins onto the skin has been used to locate
veins. This device is called VeinViewer.
Augmented Reality can provide the surgeon with information,
which are otherwise hidden, such as showing the heartbeat rate,
the blood pressure, etc.

18. AR can serve as a networked communication system that
renders useful battlefield data onto a soldier's goggles in real
time. From the soldier's viewpoint, people and various objects can
be marked with special indicators to warn of potential dangers.
Virtual maps and 360° view camera imaging can also be
rendered to aid a soldier's navigation and battlefield perspective,
and this can be transmitted to military leaders at a remote
command center.

19. AR can augment the effectiveness of
navigation devices. Information can be
displayed on an automobile's windshield
indicating destination directions and meter,
weather, terrain, road conditions and traffic
information as well as alerts to potential
hazards in their path
